Participants will learn that clinical quality can depend highly on patient engagement. Current payment models offer incentives for providers and hospitals that are successful in engaging patients in their care. Team engagement is essential.

This instruction will benefit anyone working with a medical office team in an outpatient setting: managers, clinicians and outpatient staff. 

Learn strategies for improving the patient experience and better understand the connection between positive effects of patient satisfaction, engagement, and medical outcomes.

As the Chief Operating Officer of a very busy GI practice, I receive many of the patient complaints across my desk and have spent countless hours on the phone speaking with angry patients regarding their patient experience at our practice.  Many times these conflicts or negative impressions could have been easily prevented or resolved if the staff was committed or better educated on how to provide the best patient experience. Sometimes it is a flawed process or workflow and sometimes the staff just needed to listen to the patient.

This course will enable the participants to better understand the impacts these negative experiences can have on reputation management, quality measures, and expansion.

Changing the culture to become more patient-centric involves the physicians, staff, and patients.  This course will assist the practice in beginning to think outside the box, offer tips and tools to increase patient satisfaction, and create a solid plan of improvement.
